The Fulbright Scholar Program for Faculty and Professionals is offering
a variety of opportunities for both area and non-area specialists to
lecture, conduct research, or carry out both activities in the Baltic
States, Central and Eastern Europe, and Eurasia for academic year
2008-09. The traditional Fulbright Scholar Program offers awards that
range from 2 to 10 months. Scholars may conduct research independently
or in collaboration with host country colleagues. Applications are
welcome from scholars in a broad range of disciplines in the arts,
humanities, social sciences and sciences. Opportunities also exist for
professionals in such fields as law, public administration, conflict
resolution, journalism, library science, and education. While many
awards specify project and host institution, there are a number of open
"All Discipline" awards that allow candidates to propose their own
projects and determine their host institution affiliation. Foreign
language skills may be required for certain research projects, but
lecturing awards are in English. The application deadline for 2008-09
is August 1, 2007. For general information about application
requirements and staff contacts, visit the CIES Web site. You may apply
online or download application materials. To request a paper copy or CD
Rom please send an e-mail to: apprequest(a)cies.iie.org
